May we please request clarifications from the body on the ff issues and concerns:

Is the decision of HOPE on all matters regarding bidding Final? The PBAC issued a Bid Bulletin specifying that the BAC/HOPE decision on all matters pertaining to Bidding is final, is the Bid Bulletin legal/valid in lieu of the Revised IIR of RA 9184 particularly the provision on Protest Mechanism?

Is the HOPE/BAC decision to waive the requirements of NFCC which is equivalent to ABC to be bid out valid or legal?

Is the HOPE/BAC decision to waive the 50% single contract of similar project of non-expendable supplies legal and valid?
